Best Tip: Kashima to win

There looks like a strong favourite for this fixture, and it's Kashima. Their recent form statistics show their ability at home, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they can get the job done against Nagoya too. The odds point towards Toru Oniki's side winning in the win / draw / win market, and that's definitely our prediction for Friday morning too.
